Climate Leadership Beyond Reporting:
How Boards and Executives Can Turn Climate Information into Better Business Decisions
An in-person roundtable event aligned with Climate Week NYC's theme: Policy, Governance and Leadership.
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 | 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m
Climate is no longer just a reporting requirement—it is a business issue that influences strategy, operations, investment decisions, and long-term value creation.
Organizations today face growing exposure to physical climate impacts, supply chain disruption, energy market volatility, changing workforce dynamics, and increasing stakeholder expectations. As a result, boards and executive teams are under greater pressure to understand how climate-related risks and opportunities could affect business performance and resilience.
At the same time, evolving disclosure frameworks are encouraging companies to connect climate information with strategy, financial planning, and corporate decision-making—not simply report on it.
This session will explore how organizations can move beyond compliance and use climate intelligence as a strategic leadership tool.
Key Takeaway
The organizations best positioned to succeed in an increasingly uncertain environment will be those that effectively connect climate, governance, strategy, and financial performance. By transforming climate information into actionable business intelligence, boards and executive teams can make more informed decisions, strengthen resilience, and create long-term value.
